    v1, v2        are two vectors for which the relative difference

    <b>vrelg_c</b>       is the relative difference between v1 and v2.
                  It is defined as:
                                              || v1 - v2 ||
                            <b>vrelg_c</b>  =   ----------------------

                  where || x || indicates the euclidean norm of
                  the vector x ( ||x|| = sqrt( x . x ) ).

                  <b>vrelg_c</b> assumes values in the range [0,2]. If both
                  v1 and v2 are zero vectors then <b>vrelg_c</b> is defined

   This example determines if the state of Jupiter, with respect
   to Voyager 2, for a set of times is the same for two different
   ephemeris files. Instead of insisting on absolute equality
   between the state vectors, the program will check if the relative
   difference between the vectors is greater than a fixed tolerance.

         #include &quot;SpiceUsr.h&quot;
               .
               .
               .
         /.
         The NAIF code for Jupiter is 599 and for Voyager 2 is -32.
         Set the tolerance to be 0.0005.
         ./

         #define            NUM   500
         #define            JUP   599
         #define            VG2   -32
         #define            TOL   .0005

         /.

         ./
         SpiceDouble        state1 [6][NUM];
         SpiceDouble        state2 [6][NUM];
         SpiceDouble        et     [NUM];
         SpiceDouble        lt;
         SpiceDouble        diff;

         SpiceInt           i;

         .
         .
         .

         /.
         Load  the first SPK file.
         ./
         <a href="furnsh_c.html">furnsh_c</a> ( &quot;VG2_SOURCE_1.BSP&quot; );


         /.
         Find the states for each time in the array ET.
         This example assumes that the SPK file can
         provide states for all of the times in the array.
         ./
         for ( i = 0; i &lt; NUM; i++ )
            {
            <a href="spkez_c.html">spkez_c</a> ( JUP, et[i], &quot;J2000&quot;, &quot;lt&quot;, VG2,
                                   state1[1][i], &amp;lt  );
            }


         /.
         Unload the first file and load the second one.
         ./
         <a href="unload_c.html">unload_c</a> ( &quot;VG2_SOURCE_1.BSP&quot; );

         <a href="furnsh_c.html">furnsh_c</a> ( &quot;VG2_SOURCE_2.BSP&quot; );


         /.
         Find the states from the new file.
         ./
         for ( i = 0; i &lt; NUM; i++ )
            {

            }


         /.
         Now compare the two state vectors for each time.
         ./

            {
